Tracy Clark, a native Chicagoan, is the author of the Cass Raines Chicago Mystery series, featuring ex-cop turned PaI Cassandra Raines. Her debut, BROKEN PLACES, made Library Journal’s list of the Best Crime Fiction of 2018 and CrimeReads named Cass Raines Best New PI of 2018. The novel was nominated for a Lefty Award for Best Debut Novel, an Anthony Award for Best Debut Novel and a Shamus Award for Best First PI Novel.

Among other things, Carter and Tracy discuss how Tracy’s motivation to write began with a character, how rejection letters can sometimes be totally unhelpful, and what Tracy does when she gets stuck. At the end of their conversation, they work together to create a crime scene from a sentence out of Never Coming Home by Hannah Mary McKinnon.
